Well friends and neighbors, that is it. I just completed the last day of the 9 week Couch To 5 K program.
As luck would have it, I can’t find my watch. However, my running buddy these last 9 weeks is running his 5K race today, so in solidarity, I ran 3 miles on a measured trail.
I hadn’t run 3 miles yet, my slow pace means that if I run for 30 minutes, I am somewhere between 2 and 3 miles when I finish. Today, since I had no watch, I ran for distance, and decided that since Eric (who posts on here as E-Dog) was running 3 miles, then so would I.
The first two miles melted away with no effort at all. By the time I hit 2.25, I could feel that I was getting a little tired…the last 3/4 of a mile, I was ready to be done :)
Overall though, I feel great. Now I need to devise what my running schedule will be from here on out. Right now these are the rules:
1. Run 3 days a week
2. Run for at least 30 minutes or 3 miles (unless doing a specific tempo run)
That is all for now.
CONGRATS!!! THAT’S AWESOME!
Now we need to pick a day to go run.
Congrats man… I already gave you the low-down on the 5k, but that’s awesome. You probably ran for 35 minutes or so?? That’s really good. On to the next program.
